Be Optimist When Life Asks You to be Pessimist

Today I am going to tell you a story. It’s about a young boy who was charged with the crime for which he was been given life time imprisonment. Poor boy was not at all involved in the crime but couldn’t prove his innocence to the world. All his dreams were shattered completely. He was terribly disappointed with the justice of his country. In the jail where other criminals passed their days by talking, playing, and making themselves busy with the different activities, he remained calm, quite. Everyone thought that he has got a deep impact of the judge’s decision and sympathized with him. Everyone came up with lots of explanations like no body can change the fate; you cannot win against your luck and all. But the boy seemed to be lost in his own world, dreaming about something as if he has al ready accepted his life this way and do not want to fight against the situation.

Few years passed away. The boy took interest in the activities and also made friends but his choice was very selective. One day in the night suddenly the sirens filled up the dead air of the Prison. The lights were flashing. Everyone woke up and was wondering “What Happened?” The boy some how managed to escape from the prison. In the darkness of the night he was been given a lift by a truck who crossed the border and so did the boy. Now he was in a country where no one knew him.

The boy was educated and managed to find a job for himself. Slowly he accumulated a good amount of money and lived comfortably; He was in his 30’s at that time. One day while walking along the country side he found the surroundings to be very familiar. He felt as if he has been to this place earlier as well. There was a clean wide road with lush green trees all around, covered with spring flowers. Everything seemed to be so known and familiar. He regularly visited the place and spend his leisure hours there by the side of the tress.

One day a lady in her late twenties, who was also the regular visitor of the place approached the person and soon they became friends. They enjoyed each others company a lot and finally decided to get married. One day when they were walking along the side ways of the path holding each others hand, the man realized that he has seen all this before as well. Then he realized that when he was in prison and when everyone tried to console him this was the one constant thought that he is cattered always. He always imagined himself with his beloved roaming along the side ways of the spring trees and so this has all happened. He made his conscious believe that he is going to have better life and constantly imagined him to be at his dream place. He never entertained people with negative attitude and that’s why he made selected friends in the prison. He talked less so that the thought doesn’t get out of his mouth till it gets materialized.

So my dear friends the most crucial point at which one should be hopeful for his better life is when he has lost it all. When every thing name, fame, relations, love, and money gets lost even then if you can maintain a balance and can train your mind for a better life then no body in this whole world not even God can challenge you.
